Comments:
---Radiator - original, (rare) looks decent
---Radiator shield - very nice original
---Headlights - very decent, no reflectors
---Tail light - none
---Motor - the one in the car is stuck
---Extra motor - complete and decent - extra manifold to replace the one on the motor which is welded.
This is the motor that I took the VIN number from - it was hard to see, so it may not be perfect.
---Bumpers - both front and back are present.
---Seats - 3 seat frames are present, no springs as it is better to purchase new ones.
---Rear Fenders - both are decent with hidden weld underneath, not visible on top.
One has a hole where the tail light would fasten.
---Front Fenders - one with no weld, but some cracks near area of running boards.
One with a 4" crack thru the bead.
---Hood - very nice, no weld, all handles and parts present.
---Gas tank -- looks good and solid
---Windshield frame - looks good.
---Doors - one has a dent and is solid
One has no dent, but rust out on bottom.
---Cowl - solid with rust out on bottoms of both sides.
---Areas under rear fenders - no rust out - typically there is rust out here.
---Floor - metal looks decent
- wood on one side looks decent, one side needs replacing.
- wood on sides, look decent
- wood around top - needs replacing.
----Top metal - one side and back have holes or rust out.
----rims - nice
---Title - THERE IS NO TITLE BUT I HAD TO PUT SOMETHING IN
THAT REQUIRED AREA TO SATISFY EBAY.- there was not
a "no title" option available.
This is a decent car to restore or rod, and when done, you will not find many (or any) cars as rare as this one.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: I will be not available to answer questions from Saturday, 8/17-Sunday 8/18.
I will be available on Monday, 8/19. But get your questions in early.

2015 Ford Focus
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.
